It was one of the of easiest decisions I've had to make. It was a sad decision, but it was a really quick one.

In a brief letter, Ferland told the donor the council would be giving the money back.

Ferland reportedly explained,

Girl Scouts is for every girl. And every girl should have the opportunity to be a Girl Scout if she wants to.

The money came from a family, Ferland said, and it was not their first donation to the Girl Scouts.

She has not spoken to them since returning the money and refers to her relationship with the family as "complex."

The chapter, still bent on sending those 500 girls to camp, set up an Indiegogo campaign yesterday to earn the $100,000 a different way.

As of today, over $170,000 was raised by the Seattle-based chapter.

In a statement, Girl Scouts of the USA told BuzzFeed it fully supports the Girl Scouts of Western Washington's decision.

The statement said,

GSUSA works with its local councils to ensure that the Girl Scouts' mission to build girls of courage, confidence and character, extends to all girls. Inclusion of transgender girls is handled at a council level on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of all members as a top priority.
